Interests

I am presently writing a manuscript about the history and geography of Austin. I have an article on race and memory appearing in Professional Geography, and others in Antipode and the Journal of Urban Affairs. My research interests include the political economy of culture, the politics of urban renewal, the history of geographic thought, racism, social theory, scale, and sustainability and I have a regional specialty in both Northern Europe and the Southern United States.
